I am trying to work on our ceremony play list today for the DJ and am running into a huge snag. While I love the traditional strings stuff ( I played the violin for 5 years as a child) I am doing a non traditional song (‘The Way I Am’ – Ingrid Michaelson) for my entrance and cant seen to find any instrmental music that goes with it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am looking for prelude bp prosesional and resesional stuff. TIA!

Have you checked out Vitamin String Quartet? They do a lot of covers of popular songs, but it sounds a lot like classical music! We’ll be using their stuff for almost everything in the ceremony!

I have checked them out….but as you said most of their stuff is string sounding and not folksy/gutar/bass sounding as my walking song. I may end up using there stuff becasue I am striking out with everything else.

Check out some Ray Lamontagne or Damien Rice, they’re both amazing folksy guitar music.

what about Sufjan Stevens? Can’t remember if he has many instrumental only songs, but he is a similar style.
